Thanks for sharing. I'm glad it worked out for your brother. I hope I have the same luck! Do you mind me asking what he does in the nursing field??

I realize that nurses can go through rough days and an emotional toll. I was referring to dealing with the "disappointed" reaction I get when I tell people that I am switching from engineering to nursing. I don't have rose colored glasses on for what I am getting myself into. Engineering wasn't easy either. I worked in wastewater treatment plants, coal plants, trash incinerators, and crematoriums. I would sometimes need to climb 300 feet and not pee for 12 hours. I'm use to hard work. I'm not afraid of that, but I feel as though when I tell people that I'm switching to nursing they act disappointed.

I am in the midst of changing careers. I am changing from engineering to nursing and attending nursing school in the Fall. I did pretty well on my TEAS V. I got an 82% the first shot. Is there a particular section that is giving you trouble? I found it helpful to buy the book but if you have a smartphone there is an app for the TEAS V with questions. You can get the free version (you only get 25 questions) or you can pay $10 and get 1200 questions. I bought it and I practiced whenever I was waiting for something. If you need help, send me a message with the question you're stuck on Good Luck!

Hi Everyone! I am starting nursing school in September and I am switching careers from civil engineering to nursing. I have received alot of negative comments from people telling me that I'm "stepping down". I think the complete opposite. I am leaving engineering since it is B-O-R-I-N-G! I was just wondering if anyone was in the same boat. I believe that nursing it probably one of the most noble careers that one can have. I have really enjoyed my prereqs and I got an 82% on my TEAS V. Is anyone out there changing careers into nursing? Just hoping I'm not alone. Thanks!

Hi ArmyMedic1219, I just got my acceptance letter from MCC into the nursing day program. I'm pretty sure I'll be going come September. I had all of my classes completed with a 4.0 plus I have a bachelor's degree in engineering. I'm not sure if that helps you or not but I hope to see you there!
